Tonight I was flipping through the channels and I passed over the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" I have never seen this movie but as I flipped through the channels it pulled me in. I caught the movie at the point when the main actor asks he question, are we always in the pursuit of happiness? Is there ever a point when we OBTAIN the thing that we are pursuing? In this case happiness... Now I know this is only a movie but I could not help but ponder this question. 

Have I always been in pursuit of something and unable to find happiness in the things I had? Is it time for me to ACCEPT the happiness and other things I have obtained verses the constant pursuit of something else. Is the pursuit of something and indication of unsatisfaction in the things you have? 

I am currently in the pursuit of restoration... I wonder if I should be content and HAPPY where I am before I can find happiness in a place I am not... I guess its the idea of practice makes perfect. I don't think what I am trying to convey is the a person or I should not strive to obtain new things... Instead I am wondering if I should BE happy where I am and practice and perfect that art..
